Mahashivaratri Controversy : Are we still in a free country?

I’ve just received an sms from my friend Selven ( http://www.blogged4ever.com/) who informed me about an ongoing controversy surrounding the Mahashivaratri.

I quote, “It has its meaning only if celebrated on that nite (night) ie(that is) the 6 (th of ) this month. Partou entier le monde p fer sa zour la. Mais someone screwed up allocating holidays…”

According to him, there could have been a cover up by some politicians. He also says that though many Hindu organisations have agreed for the 5th, the local Tamil community insists that it should be on the 6th.

There is also a news article on that matter in today’s Lexpress newspaper.

So…even religious festival, there is interference now? Cot nou p aller dans sa pays la…(40ans lindependence? )

Valentines day : the NEW origin, according to the future president!

Valentines day today and you may have wondered about the origins of this so-special day for lovers (including lonely-lovers as well). Cupid? Cupidon, god of love? Depicted as the mischievous flying ‘baby’ armed with a special bow (a love-arrows-shooting bow…I’m looking for one, anybody knows where it is available?) Anyways…all this is just rubbish, don’t you people, find these stories not even worth for small children? And you believe in that?

Ok, I know some of you are already planning how to give me a good beating, but fear not,I’m not against valentines day! It’s a day for lovers (and for businesses) and it’s a good and healthy( and romantic) thing . But what I don’t feel right is the current root of valentines day…Cupid…stupid!

So as from now on, we will together change the origin of valentines day; it will have a new origin!

‘Valen’ is a subset of ‘Valentines’ (i’m currently doing sets theory at uni…). So each element of Valen is present in Valentines as well.

And if you have done basic chemistry, you must have heard of the word “valency”.

Valen from valentines is also a subset of valency!

Now if we do an intersection with Valency and Valentines, we have “Valen”

Thus, the word valentines must surely have derivate from Valency.

According to wikipedia,

In chemistry, valence, also known as valency or valency number, is a measure of the number of chemical bonds formed by the atoms of a given element.

The etymology of the word “valence” is from 1425, meaning “extract, preparation,” from Latin valentia “strength, capacity,” and the chemical meaning referring to the “combining power of an element” is recorded from 1884, from German Valenz

As you may have guessed, the combining power of an element mentioned above is referring to love. And love is being described, as a chemical bond between two individuals.

And thus, proved!  Valentines’ new origin is the valency!

Happy valentines day, hope all your chemical bonds keep hmm…bonding together for eternity

Reload…fire!!!

No no, am not going to talk about some action movies or firing a weapon :p…It’s just about reloading a web page

Oh btw, goooood morning!

Nowadays, web 2.0 adepts’ websites include ajax ( Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) which is a combination of technologies I’ve just mentioned (but itself, it is not a new technology, it’s a combination!). So with the use of ajax, long gone the era of clicking submit buttons on forms and waiting a new page to load or the current page to reload completely;your results appear on a predefined location on the current page itself and without the whole stuff reloading :p And thats not all, if you are on a page that consists of news titles, you don’t have the need to reload the page from time to time to check for new titles being added, the new titles will just appear on its own!

But unfortunately, not all websites have adopted ajax yet, and you still have to reload a page every now and then to check for updates. For these cases, I have got a simple plugin for Mozilla firefox.

It’s called: Reload Every. Once installed, all you have to do, is to right-click on a page you want to make it reload automatically in a specified time interval and that’s it!

Until then, have a nice weekend
